Another 5 STAR review!

  Happy Harlequin Family PACMAT owner writes: "I never expected a picnic mat to become one of my most used baby items but it has.

Ordnance Survey PACMAT Families

Ordnance Survey PACMAT Families

We've collaborated with Ordnance Survey to create these two PACMAT families. Starting with the the Lake District and the New Forest National Parks.

Perfect for outdoorsy Christmas presents.

Sometimes it's hard to drag them off the sofa and away from electronics so we thought we'd give them a little motivation and a goal to aim for, something they could be proud to achieve. We talked about possible things between us and decided 100 miles forwards was a good one. As we were doing a lot of steep tracks too, not just walking distance, we thought we should have a vertical target as well - so we set the goal of "climbing Mont Blanc", and drew up a chart, something measurable, where they could see their progress.  On each walk we...
